Sacre Coeur by Fontaine

Naïve painting of life in Montmartre, Paris with the Sacre Coeur is featured in this jigsaw, cut by Raul Barrera for Regina Bamfert in October 2023. The colourful image is bursting with detail – but I can’t find out anything about the artist-illustrator. Raul cuts in an elegant, interlocking, all-over style that suits fine art images.

The same image has been used by Victory (Reboot) in its Art & Artisan series. (In this series hand-cutter Mark Cappitella creates a master jigsaw which is then replicated by laser-cutting.)
